Their mission is that of assuring through education, equal protection under the law for all living humans from the beginning of their biological life at fertilization until natural death.Brad opened this edition of Crosstalk with a wonderful testimony involving Brad’s colleague, Dr. John Wilke, who was president of National Right to Life, and George H.W. Bush. It was through a long visit between these two individuals that caused the president to change his stance on life. As history shows, President Bush eventually stopped at least 10 bills that had pro-abortion provisions in them.
